Hey folks it,s been almost 10 years since OZFS came into being. Time has come to step away and give someone else a chance to run the show (if they are interested) I still have my Storm but haven't been out on it in months and i very rarely check in here to see whats going on. So I figure the fire is out for me so pass it on. The hosting fees are due in a couple of weeks and I wont be renewing it so grab what you want file wise ASAP. The ProBoards side of the site will stay pretty much the same but there will be no access to files and some pics. The ozfirestorm.com.au domain name is due to expire followed closely by the .com domain name. Hosting is around $110 ish per year so if anyone is interested in taking the place on please let me know. I can be reached at or if you like you can PM me for a contact number. I will stick around as a member if I,m allowed and if OZFS continues but I just don't have the passion any more.
Andy

Thats a shame Andy but understandable. Storms are getting a bit long in the tooth and there aren't the amount of owners that there used to be. She's been pretty quiet in here.
A big thank you for all that you have done for Ozfirestorm over the last 10 years. I have many fond memories of Ozfirestorm group rides and overnighters that I will never forget.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for starting OZFS / hosting / organising merch / getting rid of trolls over the years. Credit to Robyn and the admins likewise. I've met some top people and had some great times. Understand the decision.
Sincerely, Sarah

Me too Andy. When I first got the Storm this site was a wealth of information and I couldn't have got by without it. I was on here everyday but now sadly there are not that many familiar users online and I don't have Storm to keep me here that much. Hopefully someone will keep the legacy going while there are still a few bikes out there for the newbies. Cheers gary

I to would like to thank Andy,Robyn and Seanus,for providing a fantastic site. As Gary has mentioned,this site provided a heap of info on the storm that has helped me out over the years as well. Also have met and become friends with alot of fellow stormers as well. And when I purchased my second storm in melb, Andy was kind enough to check the bike out for me,and I never met the guy before. It was a great pleasure to meet you Andy and Robyn,and good luck in the future. cheers

Thanks for what you started here Andy. It has been and I hope it continues to be, a great source of information. I have met a heap of people on here that I'll call friends even if OZFS folds. I don't have a 'storm any more but I'd like to keep checking in, so I hope someone can take the reins. It was always a pleasure meeting you and Robyn, and I'd like to wish you both the best for the future.
